Write to Windows event log
There is not yet (that I am aware of) a native interface to the Windows logging functions, but Perl 6 can shell out and run a console command just as easily as most of these other languages. It does have a native interface to the syslog functions under POSIX environments though.
(Same caveats as the others, needs to be run as administrator or with elevated privileges under Windows.)
given $*DISTRO {
when .is-win {
my $cmd = "eventcreate /T INFORMATION /ID 123 /D \"Bla de bla bla bla\"";
run($cmd);
}
default { # most POSIX environments
use Log::Syslog::Native;
my $logger = Log::Syslog::Native.new(facility => Log::Syslog::Native::User);
$logger.info("[$*PROGRAM-NAME pid=$*PID user=$*USER] Just thought you might like to know.");
}
}
